We're done with out cleanup tasks and all systems are stable. We'll leave the data center now.

With this network maintenance we have now wrapped up our data center expansion that started a few months ago: a much faster and more reliable network, which in turn directly benefits storage performance and more space for further capacity-oriented expansion.

We hope you'll have a nice weekend!

The major work for replacing the last switches and has finished and all port changes that cause intermittent packet loss are done. We're monitoring the situation and performing clean up tasks for the time being and will close this maintenance issue when leaving the data center in the next hours.

Scheduled

We're finishing our recent data center expansion and will upgrade the last switches to establish our 80GB backbone and finalize moving to a single vendor switching platform.

On Friday we will add new access switches and replace the last HP ProCurves.

Setting up the infrastructure will be a hitless upgrade but we will need to rewire a number of ports which will cause short periods of packet loss (<10s).
